All things considered Kiffin did a pretty decent job with that team this year. USC had a lot of key injuries and played with basically 52 kids on scholarship. Kiffin will have USC in the BCS title game in a couple seasons, he is absolutely killing it on the recruiting front. USC's recruiting class for 2013 is currently the highest rated college football recruiting class ever. Just give it a little time.

You realize Saban went 7-6 with Bama his first year right? Kiffin came into a USC program that has lesser talent than when Pete was coaching. He had a bowl ban on him which made it tough to recruit. Oh and the PAC 12 is much much much better now than the PAC 10 was when Pete was there. When Pete coached this team, USC and sometimes Oregon were the only competitive teams, now the league is tougher. Just because Kiffin hasn't won a conference title doesn't mean it's Kiffin's fault. Let his recruits come through the program, wait for hist system to really get established before you start calling Kiffin out. Very few coaches are great in their first or second year in college fball. In the pros, you can take a team over and have them winning almost by tomorrow. However, college ball requires the coach to build a program. It takes time. So, before you start calling Kiffin to be fired, remember that he's in a similar position that Saban was in.

Kiffin is going to have to make some coaching changes, I got a feeling he is going to part ways with his old man after this season. He needs a younger DC that understands how to defend these spread offenses a little better. But no doubt USC is setting the table for the future, their recruiting class for 2013 is SICK. USC is going to be loaded in 2 seasons, they just need more kids on scolarship and need more upperclassmen. Just give it time

I dont think pounding it in from the 1 set them up for sucess on that drive.
it was weakness vs strength.
the trojans dont exactly have Bama OL, and ND has a pretty good front.
I thought they had something with the fade, just keep calling that play and it was either gonna be a TD or another PI.
